The adsorption studies of phenol from aqueous solution on allium sativum peel have been studied in the range of 50-250 mg/L initial phenol concentration .The study was carried out as function of contact time, pH, initial phenol concentration,allium sativum Linn peel dosage and temperature. The experiment demonstrated the maximum phenol was obtained at in pH of 2 and it takes 6h to attain equili...

In this paper, the ability of coconut bunch waste (CBW), an agricultural waste available in large quantity in Malaysia, to remove basic dye (methylene blue) from aqueous solution by adsorption was studied. Batch mode experiments were conducted at 30 degrees C to study the effects of pH and initial concentration of methylene blue (MB). Equilibrium adsorption isotherms and kinetics were investiga...

Boron minerals are very useful for various industrial activities, such as glass industry and detergent industry, due to its mechanical and chemical properties. During the production of boron compounds, many of these are introduced into the environment in the form of waste. Boron is also an important micro nutrient for the plants to vegetate but if it exists in high concentrations, it could have...

the present study was carried out to investigate three different adsorbents; dry cells of thebacterium exiguobacterium sp. 27, polyaniline and a mixture of both in different ratios for removal of ni(ii)from aqueous solution. the results showed that the adsorption of ni(ii) using dry cells of exiguobacteriumsp. 27 was very fast and the equilibrium time was 15 min, while the equilibrium time for ...

in this work, electrochemical methods such as tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) were used to study the inhibition efficiency of nettle leaves hydroalcoholic extract as a green corrosion inhibitor of api 5l carbon steel in 0.5 m h2so4 solution. the results showed that the inhibition efficiency was increased with increasing the concentration of the extract and th...

Sawdust is obtained from naturally and easily available which is biodegradable. The bio sorption capacity of the sawdust for hexavalent chromium was studied at different solution pH values (1.5-6), initial metal concentration (50450 mg/L), adsorbent dose (1-7 g/L). The maximum adsorption of Cr (VI) is obtained at pH 1.5, initial concentration 50 ppm and adsorbent dose 5 g/l. The adsorption of c...

In this paper, the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm is used to model the interaction of several triazines (desethylatrazine, desisopropylatrazine, simazine, atrazine, propazine and prometryn) with a propazine-imprinted polymer and to explain the observed cross-reactivity. Different rebinding experiments (each herbicide alone or all together in a mixture) were carried out and the experimental bindin...

The present study investigates the biosorption of cadmium ions from aqueous solution onto unmodified, ultrasound and microwave treated cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. FTIR analysis was conducted to characterize the biosorbent. Equilibrium and kinetic studies of unmodified RBW (residual brewery waste) cell yeast and DSM 1333 (pure strain) were conducted by considering the effect of initial ca...

adsorption capacity of cr (vi) onto cousinia eryngioides boiss, activated carbon was investigated in a batch system by considering the effects of various parameters like contact time, initial concentration, ph, temperature, agitation speed, absorbent dose and particle size. cr (vi) removal is ph dependent and found to be maximum at ph 2.0. the amounts of cr (vi) adsorbed increased with increase...

Polyaniline titanotungstate (PATiW) was synthesized by the sol-gel method. Adsorption isotherm studies of Cs from aqueous solution are described. Elemental Composition, chemical solubility, ion-exchange capacity (IEC) and pH titration are studied. Distribution coefficients (Kd) for ten metal ions have been determined. It was found that the polyaniline titanotungstate has high affinity and high ...
